Lee Moore and James A. Richolt for attorney Samuel Hodges.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is virtually the only substantial and intact surviving late Victorian house in Wichita Falls and the most significant local example of the Eastlake style. It was also the home of a succession of civic leaders, including Samuel Hodges, Dan and Myrtle Hardy, and John and Bonnie Hardy Chambers.","narrative":"Built in 1895 at the corner of Travis and 11th streets in Wichita Falls, this two-story frame house was constructed for attorney Samuel Hodges by local builders and lumber-mill owners W. Lee Moore and James A. Richolt. It is described as the most significant surviving local example of the Eastlake style, with turned porch railings, decorative brackets, fish-scale shingles, sunburst carvings and red-brick chimneys. Hodges lived there until 1910, when he sold it to entrepreneur Dan Hardy. The Hardy family, and later their daughter Bonnie and her husband John Chambers, made it a center of civic and social life, including hospitality for servicemen from Sheppard Field during World War II. Few substantial late Victorian houses survive in the city, and this one remains largely intact. After the estate sold the property in 1983, the exterior was carefully restored, asbestos siding was removed, and the interior was adapted for office use while original fireplaces, mantels and fixtures were retained.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Moore and Richolt (W.
